Had a great Summer Day in Maine yesterday: Lunch at Harraseeket Lunch & Lobster Co in South Freeport (http://www.harraseeketlunchandlobster.com) while watching the working waterfront at the town dock:) A lovely hike in the woods and along the ocean’s edge in Wolfe’s Neck Woods State Park;
enjoying the breeze and the perfect temperature! Maine-the way life should be indeed!

It was time to deliver another batch of Tröskö products to the Niblic on Chebeague Island in Casco Bay, so my husband offered to take me and my box in his 19′ Seaway out there. It was the perfect Maine Summer day: starting out overcast, then sun with a few clouds now and then, not too hot, not too humid! We went around Cousins Island and little John and around to the far side of Chebeague, where the Niblic sits at the dock of Chebeague Island Boatyard. If you haven’t been there, it’s a great destination for a day trip. The Niblic offers, besides some awesome arts/crafts products, delicious lunches: we had their fish chowder and tuna salad sandwiches. We ate it out on the back stair, while watching the kids at summer camp get ready to go out on the water, visitors from other islands dock and go get lunch, the boatyard crew doing their jobs, and local islanders come get gas at the pump. In other words: we had a great time:)

On the way home, we took a round-about way over to Potts Harbor, where we had coffee and pie at the Dolphin. On the way we saw a lot of seagulls of course, but also – I’m not kidding you- several seals (!). What can I say, I love living in Maine:)

The 49th Yarmouth Clam Festival came and went too quickly. I had so much fun that weekend and I was so tired the following week:) The whole festival is run very smoothly and this year the weather was absolutely perfect with moderate temperatures, little humidity, and no rain!!!

I had the good fortune of having my booth next to the best ever booth neighbors: Mary and Joe Devenney. They entertained me all weekend! I also met so many talented and wonderful artists and crafters. Here are links to some of them:
